This edition re-prints the original final stanza of \'London\' - which appears in Blake\'s notebook but which was left out of the original edition, because of its clear revolutionary meaning.
In \'Songs of Experience\' Blake portrays the world as it really is - full of social, economic, religious and sexual repression, managed by the institutions of the Church, the State, the monarchy and the rich.
In \'Songs of Innocence\' Blake portrays humanity in an idyllic pastoral setting, full of naturalness and simplicity, but not immune from exploitation.
